    "an" historical area.

    No. I live in a community where the people are from ancient history though.

    An is acceptable but a is actually correct since the h is not suppressed.

    Yes.  Back in 10,000 BC this area, which is now on the Gulf of Mexico Coast and the harbor for which my town is named, was not even coastal.  It was inhabited by nomadic Paleo Indians.  After the ice age ended and the ice melted it got wet around here and I don't know where the Paleos went but the new people were called shell people (Calusa), and Florida became a peninsula and was like that when the first Spaniards arrived here in the 1500s. 

    I just read all of that; thank you for forcing me to learn those fascinating  tidbits about SW Florida.

    Yes: this entire area existed for quite some time before I lived here.

    You mean a historical district? I don't anymore, but I did for many years in NOLA. It was kind of a pain in the rear...
